Thanks ladies. I didn’t realize this was as common as it is! I was spoiled with my daughter. Lol she is super independent. Also it makes more sense because he is super clingy just to me. If I walk out of his sight he gets mad. I’m just glad that when he stays the night once a week at my moms he sleeps for her. I was worried my bad habits would affect how good he is there.

Seems like it can separation anxiety around that age it begins...also the 8 months sleep regression. I'm sorry momma I don't have mucuh advice. This to shall pass.

This is just me in my opinion. I’ve experienced something like that with all six of my babies. I find that they’re wanting the physical contact and a touch of their momma because they need the extra comfort and feeling of security. It could be a psychological growth spurt that causes it or it could be that they’re reaching some other milestones but I typically find that my kids do the same. I give them the comfort of being near me because number one and I want them to know that I’m there whenever they need me. But also because it helps them (again in my experience and situation) to outgrow the need for that extra comfort more quickly.

It’s separation anxiety. Which I never thought would be a milestone for babies, but it is

My sons started at 8ish months too. It’s still happening and he’s almost 11 months. I talked to my doctor about it and its completely normal. It’s actually a sign of good mental development. The peak of it is from usually 9-18m.
